Main overview

Create an affiliate program so that both you and your affiliates can earn more and get visibility on your sites

You have designed a modern and functional e-commerce shop where you sell quality products at competitive prices. Yet, no one knows your website and visits are running low as well as the orders: in practice, you are the owner of a wonderful shop hidden in a low traffic street. What you need can be summarized in one word: visibility.

Think of third parties sharing your products on their sites, thus giving them more visibility: you would certainly turn more visits into a huge increase in sales, with no effort and in exchange of a commission – that you set – on the price of sold items. A partnership that only makes winners!

If you are looking for a way of advertising your products and increasing the number of your sales, but you don’t know how to, if you ran out of ideas or you have already posted ads on every blog, then make other people and bloggers advertise your products on their websites.
If they can help you sell your products in exchange for a commission on each sale, you can be sure they will actively help you promote them. Setting up an affiliate program has never been so easy since YITH WooCommerce Affiliates will help you automate this entire process.

Many affiliate programs fail because commissions are only paid if customers purchase one or more of your products right after reaching your website, thus running the risk of rendering the entire affiliation system pointless.

Thanks to YITH WooCommerce Affiliates you won’t run this risk: the plugin will allow you to choose how long affiliates will keep receiving commissions from the users reached through their links.

Admins will have full control of their affiliates thanks to detailed click reports generated by every single link, giving you the chance to choose whether you wish to pay commissions manually or set up an automatic payment system.

You can also set up different commission rates based on the product or user, allowing you to create a custom automated affiliation system starting now, using an exponential advertising system that will increase your sales.

PayPal MassPay is now a deprecated service. The service has been restricted to select partners for approved use cases and should not be used for new integrations without guidance from PayPal.

If you already have an approved account, you will be able to use the service with Multi Vendor plugin.On the contrary, we recommend contacting PayPal before purchasing this plugin.

Andre Stone- verified ownerSeptember 3, 2019

Very good plugin with one feature to improveI bought this plugin to test it, confident that I could benefit from the 30 days money back guarantee if it did not work, but I did not really need to use it, as the plugin works great out of the box and has many features and integrations I need. But I'm only disappointed by the fact that this plugin does not support an automatic coupon generation yet. I was told this will be improved in the next plugin versions and I hope it can be soon, as the coupon feature is great but letting the affiliate create their own codes would make it perfect. Thanks

Can an affiliate receive commissions for any renew, when customer subscribes to a plan with their referral link?

Can an affiliate receive commissions for any purchase from the same user?

Yes, this is possible by enabling the option to calculate the commission permanently. Based on registered cookies, this option stores the commissions of the affiliate for every purchase the related user will make.

Can my affiliates offer discounts for purchases made on my store?

Yes, the plugin allows creating coupons and assigning them to your affiliates. When they share the coupon/s, every sale made by using them will generate a commission for the related affiliate and, of course, a discount for the user.

What is the commission rate based on?

You can set a commission rate by user (affiliate), by product or by a general rate. For further details, you can refer to this section of the documentation.

What registration forms can I use?

If you select Any registration form, the affiliate registration fields will be added to the standard registration form you're using (probably the default one by WooCommerce). Meaning that everyone who registers can also register as an affiliate.

If you want affiliates to only register using a dedicated form, you can select the plugin form, and have two separate forms, one for user registration and one for affiliate registration. If you choose this one, it will be displayed in the Affiliate dashboard by default, but you can print it on every page using the dedicated shortcode.
